synchronet filebase -> www! (c) 1997 tom fotherby (enigma@ees.eesc.com)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
requirements
------------
a) some sort of web server
what it does
------------
this fine program makes hypertext files for your synchronet bbs's file
areas, thus allowing people to access your file library from the www!
why is this a good thing, you might ask? well, most telnet clients
don't have zmodem, or, because of net-lag, zmodem and other transfer
protocols time out and end up screwing up the transfer.
getting it set up
-----------------
included are both DOS (16-bit) and OS/2 (32-bit) versions of this program!
the DOS filename is "sf2web.exe" and the OS/2 version is "sf2web2.exe"
1st, figure out which areas you'd like to have accessable via the www,
then get the internal code for each of them (look in SCFG) then edit
the config file, sf2web.cfg and add each area.

example:
file area's internal code is: GAMES
the .htm (or .html if using HPFS) file you want created is "games.htm"
the URL LOCATION is http://ozbbs.ml.org/files/games
and the Title (Area Name) of the area is "Games", the entry you would add
to sf2web.cfg would look like:
games games.htm http://ozbbs.ml.org/files/games Games
^ ^ ^ ^_ Title of the area
| | |_ where the file(s) are located
| |_ html file to create
|_ Internal Code
then, set up a daily event in synchronet to run 'sf2web.exe'. sf2web.exe
will look for the config file in the directory which the .exe resides,
so you can put sf2web.exe & .cfg in your path and it will work from anywhere.
